The Lake of the Dead | Lake Lanier, GA

They are building a huge water park there now!!

What about Lakes Superior and Michagan? How many dead people are in those 2?

Thats a damn ocean 😅 sacrafice . Dont do it

It gets me how many people claim to see the Ghosts of inanimate objects; like blue dresses and such.

I’m very fascinated with this lake but I would not want to offend the NOT resting souls there . I’m not saying I don’t believe it’s haunted but I’m just one of those people that I’d truly have to see something for myself to be like “okay so they really were telling the truth” lol that is if I live through whatever it is that happens lol 😅

Those souls are angry as they should be that is not a place for joy as it holds so much sorrow.

All this started over a white womans lie of rape. Which happened a lot back in those days because they wanted Black Meat🎯

Today in 2024 they are trying to make a water park off that lake. Someone needs to have enough respect already to allow those souls to rest not be disturbed anymore and stop that from happening

How could you have a good time over death

Allllll these divers and devices why hasn’t no one went down in those waters to take a look?? The truth. If you notice it’s a lot of Caucasian folks that drowned🤔🤔 I wonder why

Ok. From jumpstart if she died how is it known what happened and what she saw?🤔

These comments have me amused and concerned! If you read fiction or watch movies based on true events AT ALL then you can understand the beginning of the video and how they were able to narrate what “could have” happened based on piecing together what they knew about her story and adding in what made the most sense. 😅

I’m from Baltimore I fish here often yes ppl die here but if you ever see how ppl act on that water you’ll see why they die … boats speeding … kids swimming in non-swim zones

One thing for sure black people was slaughtered and murdered there.

Ushers son was killed in this lake

I’m willing to bet that even with the area’s dark history, the vast majority of death and mayhem is not caused by spirits dwelling in the lake, but the ones dwelling in a bottle or easy open can. Lake Lanier gets FAR more visitors, than any other lake in Georgia, and it’s Party Central for a lot of younger people. Booze and boating DON’T mix, and if you look at many of the accidents on Lanier, those 3 famous words are heard time and again: “Alcohol was involved.” With the amount of drunks boating and swimming on Lanier versus other Georgia lakes, no wonder the death rate is so high.

2 people died there this week. I really wish they would not let ppl in there

Or maybe some creep was chasing them and they took off. There’s more to this story that is why she’s not resting. The truth is not what we’re reciting.

you will never hear someone who has actually spent a lot of time on lanier say it's haunted

I lived in Ga as a teenager and when I went to Lake Lanier I had a creepy feeling not to mention it just looked scary

There’s been so many deaths that they closed the swimming beaches last year

Sadly this isn't the only place where black towns were drove out to steal land and businesses

I am sorry, but this is not the full truth of what happened in the town Oscarville, which is now Lake Lanier.😮😢

I lived right next to it for about 2 years. it’s most definitely haunted

GA natives avoid this lake at all costs 💀

This has happened to us all over America. What has been done can't be erased, it's just sad.

Im thinking the lady in the blue dress and her friend were caught for stealing that gas, they were killed for it!
Nobody wanted to admit who her corpse was, because they chopped her hands and drove them into the lake!
That's why her spirit is vengeful and upset!
Maybe they never stole gas and were attacked instead 😢...im just speculating 🤔!
Maybe she's upset because she met the same fate as the black people in oscarville 🤷

Theys souls may be mad,and they don't care what color u are it ain't safe and it's disrespectful to have all these lakes open knowing so make blacks losses their lives,it's just sad this not the only lake that.its many trust me.

That "poem" is a spell

My Father In Law was one of the men present when they pulled the skeletal remains of one of the missing ladies from the car. He was a high ranking LEO and assisted in MANY drownings, murders and mysterious goings on in Lanier. Even so, my wife and I swam in the Lake, anyway, undeterred of her Daddy's warnings to "stay clear of that darn lake, or else!" speech. Matter of fact her cousin drown on July 4th, 1980 beside Thompson Bridge Rd. Her uncle had taken his family out that morning on his boat when Jeff jumped in, but never resurfaced. That Lake is full of the dead and their secrets.

It's not "700 dead bodies," it's 700 deaths. Only 27 bodies are reported as unrecovered.

So if she saw the lady and was taken down like that, who saw and told the story of a lady in a blue dress angrily dragging her to tell the story

I live about 5 minutes from buford dam and even my house feels errie when left home alone. My wife litterly moved from her country to live with me after we got married, and is a stay at home mom and even started feeling that weird feeling when she was left home alone for the first time. My home is a modern home too

So proud of my ancestors✊🏾 keep it up n get ur revenge u deserve it n thank u for helping us…. 💜👑✊🏾

I don’t think a white lady in a blue dress is what’s haunting Lake Lanier. I think it’s the ghost of all the black souls lost to white violence that haunt that lake.

Yes, the man-made Lake Lanier in north Georgia covers the remains of the Black community of Oscarville, which was established in the late 1800s. The community was made up of successful farmers, carpenters, blacksmiths, and bricklayers, but in 1912, most of the Black residents were forced out by white Forsyth County residents following a series of violent crimes and racially motivated riots. In 1950, the remaining structures of the town were flooded during the construction of Lake Lanier, though some items like grave sites, an old bridge, and wells are still underwater.

In late 90s i spent every summer at lake Lanier and i can million percent confirm this place is absolutely evil haunted still till this day im 44 now i will not go back!!!

I moved to Georgia 20yrs ago. I was 23. I remember being invited to go to the lake.

As I'm getting dressed my God mother asked me where i am going.
I told her..

HER EXACT WORDS: NO THE HELL YOU AIN'T. U BETTER FIND U SOMETHING ELSE TO DO. SIT DOWN SOMEWHERE 😂😂😂

then she told me why... still today. I'VE NEVER BEEN THERE. I AM SORRY TO EVERYONE THAT LOST THEIR LIVES THERE. MY HEART GOES OUT TO THE PEOPLE IN THAT TOWN. SO SAD

She can grab you cause your spirit will have hands it’s just your body that won’t have hands !!

How scary it’s also a camp ground around the lake I’ve camp there!

OK... the intro, made me say BS to the jetski girls death. If she was knocked into the water never to be seen again. How the hell do you know what she seen , felt or was thinking..?? 🤔 You must think we're stupid homie...Try again 😅😅

I’ve lived on this lake almost my whole life all of y’all are hilarious it’s just a lake😂

I lived by the lake for years. I never felt eery. But in the area i lived, there was an unmarked graveyard where the tombstones are way too close together like they were moved, but the bodies weren't. I would go on many walks and pass it, just knowing thar there was so much history underneath the water with those deceased.

I live on lake Lanier. I know so many people that have died here.

Lanier is most often beautiful blue, rivers and lakes in the southeast turn red or brown after rains as the creeks and streams run into the rivers as the soil is red clay

Lived here for 13 years and I've never seen or heard a thing. I live on the shore of Lanier.

Ive been there and dont want to go back. First time i was 15. At that time i had just moved to Georgia and was going through a lot of depression. When i went there at 15, did feel a little weird but contributed the feeling to what i was already going through. Decided to visit the lake in 2019, still havent known the history. Just decided to go. I felt eerie upon entering the lake on the bridge. Once i got into the park area, i felt uneasy and i knew spirits were inhabiting that place. At the end of my visit, i called a lyft driver to take me home. I told my lyft driver how i had felt uneasy there, and that is when she told me about the history! I was like "wow"! Its amazing how you can go to a place for the first time, and not know anything or history of the place and just be able to pick up strange energy. Just to find out the gruesome details of what happened in the place.

Taxidermy lion is hilarious.anytime you mix graves and evil ppl racism it goes without saying cursed.

Let's get the facts straight.Those people are not african they're American Indians
